The archaeological grammar, as an epistemic system, must deal with the moment of “publication” in ways that are quite at variance with what happens in any other discipline, in two respects.
- On the one hand, selected portions of the physical record must be preserved and made accessible for inspection, both at the excavation site and in museums.
- On the other, the referential record must include the totality of the data, as found iin their original emplacement and properly identified according to the parameters proposed in the second part of the grammar.
